## Summary

UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) procured nine air handling units with humidification for its operations. This is a goods requirement covering specialist heating, ventilation, air-conditioning and air-filtration equipment, classified under CPV 42510000. The procurement was made through UKRI’s framework arrangement and relates to a single requirement rather than separate work packages. UKRI is the central government research and innovation organisation buying the equipment. The supplier named in the process, Scanbur, is based in Karlslunde, Denmark. The procurement record identifies the requirement as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to manufacturers, specialist equipment distributors and firms able to supply configured air handling units with humidification for public-sector research facilities.

The procurement has reached the award stage: the tender is complete and Scanbur was selected as supplier. It was a direct award from the UKRI-5450 single-supplier framework because one bid was received. The award is recorded at £256,347 gross, including any applicable taxes, for the nine units. The award is marked pending, with a scheduled signature milestone on 4 September 2026. The structured contract period runs from 5 September 2026 to 6 September 2026. The award concerns one lot, and the procurement is above the relevant threshold. Evaluation was therefore conducted through the single-supplier framework call-off and did not involve a competitive multi-supplier tender. UKRI is the contracting authority and Scanbur is the selected supplier.

For suppliers assessing future UKRI requirements, this procurement demonstrates demand for a defined package of nine air handling units with humidification, rather than general facilities management or routine maintenance. Credible competitors would need to manufacture, distribute or integrate air-handling and humidification equipment, and understand the performance, compatibility and installation requirements that accompany specialist ventilation plant. The requirement is suitable for SMEs, so a smaller specialist manufacturer or distributor could be relevant where it can demonstrate dependable supply and the capacity to deliver a package of this scale. The single-supplier framework route also shows that access to an established UKRI framework can determine how comparable requirements are awarded, alongside the ability to submit a compliant response to the stated equipment specification.
